    There is no kitchen, and the top area is unfinished. Also, someone was smoking on the balcony, and the smell was in the bedroom.

    Close to the main sights.

    The hostel is located in Sofokleus which is known for being the bad part of town, so if you walk downhill from the hostel you may enter bad areas. Worst of all is the noise, day in and day out it’s extremely noisy with cars honking and trucks idling, people shouting etc. The rooms offer bare minimum, only a sheet, pillow and a blanket (and the bed too of course). The common area only has a few benches and not very inviting, also there is no kitchen for guests to use

    The location is very central, short walks away from Arkropolis and Monastiraki. If you need to take a taxi, there’s Omonias sq. which is about 3-400m away from the hostel Also the price is very nice for being in the middle of Athens

    Hot water can be hit or miss and can be a long wait. The rooftop is the only real common area and is frequented by many guests but is largely neglected by staff (although the bins are emptied daily). Littered with building materials, it could be so much better than it is (as at April 2024). The "kitchen" on the rooftop is a joke: while there is a fridge, a kettle, and a microwave (the latter apparently provided by long-term guest Samantha), there is no cutlery and almost no crockery. The water supply is intermittent. The kitchen area is in need of a deep clean, some basic utensils, and a lot of maintenance.

    Location is good. They have 24-hour reception where 2 out of 3 staff are nice, friendly people. Rooms/dorms and bathrooms are clean, and beds are comfortable. Security wise, there is proximity-card access to rooms/dorms (but no lockers available). Some rooms have little balconies and a convenient wash basin inside. Towel provided on request. Rooftop is disappointing.

    Although the hostel is located close to the major tourist attractions, the area is not really safe. Beware of pickpockets and keep your backpacks/bags close. It's kinda strange that the showers and toilets have glass doors? Frosted glass but you can still see if anyone is inside. The kitchen was not great. It's on the rooftop! If it's raining, be prepared to cook under the rain. You have to pay extra for the safe.

    Right in the city centre, 20 min by foot to Acropolis. Free towels. Hot showers. The room I stayed in had a wardrobe, a table and a chair. Sockets near every bunk. WiFi was good.

    No free lockers are available to leave my luggage. The only one available was 2 euros for each time I opened it. and it was outside the room. Expensive and inconvenient. And also the kitchen and roof top a bit uncomfortable and not well equipped.

    The room was good clean and spacious. Toilet clean

    The kitchen had 1 fork and 1 plate. I had my own travel untensils with me but there wasn't even a bowl for muesli in the morning so I bought a tub of tomatoes, ate them, and then used the tub as my bowl. I also ended up sharing with other people because there were no cups to drink out of either so we had to wash the tub over and over so that we could all drink something.

    The location was really good! It is walking distance from the Parthenon and any museums around it. There are also super markets and fruit markets nearby. I wouldn't call this a plus or a minus but the people can be a little out of the ordinary. I saw reviews saying that before and I didn't really think that much of it but it's true. Nothing bad happened to me but you should be aware of your surroundings and think about who you're with before you agree follow them god knows where.

    The sleeping room was alright, the toilet door was broken though. I did not use the lockers because I would have had to pay 2€ everytime I used them. The window in my room was broken, it got a little cold during the night.

    The staff always helped when there were questions. The sleeping room was alright. I liked the kitchen because they have a kettle, microwave, a plug in stove, pans, spoon, knifes and more stuff, they also have a fridge. There is not mich but it was enough to cook. The Hostel is very very well located.

    There was a guy in my room so disrespectful, anti-hygiene and annoying. I couldn't breath because of his stikyness, but I guess is no problem of the hostel to have people like this.

    The atmosphere was terrible , not a hostel vibe , staffs were not friendly at all, specially the owner (manager). The common terrace was not confortable and poor. People staying there were strange , not backpackers . No kitchen.

    It was a clean hostel , toilets clean and bed comfortable. Good location .
